Another setback in the international arena accompanied Shakhtar Donetsk’s matchday 11 match of the Ukrainian Premier League. The reigning champion of the national championship on the field of the Dnipro-Arena met with the Dnieper Dnieper-1, who in November was unable to support a series of successful fights last month, which took place against the background of the arrival of Igor Jovichevich as head coach of the team.
The oranges and blacks again showed toothless football in a duel against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the middle of the reporting week (0: 4), complicating the already difficult end of the group stage on the international stage. But before thinking about the next game against Real Madrid at NSC Olimpiyskiy, Luis Castro’s team would do well to take the lead in the national championship: Shakhtar managed to lose 10 points at the time of the eleventh round, half of your total score.
However, the first half of the match at the Dnipro-Arena showed no particular desire of the Pitmen to change the unfortunate trends of recent times. Shakhtar played in a weakened team, but nevertheless fought, but could not create a single correct opportunity for a goal in the opponent’s goal. Long distance shots from Tete and a free kick from Maicon, that’s all the guests offered in the first 45 minutes.
At the same time, it should be noted that the game was carried out at a good pace, the “sponsor” of which was the initial offense of Dnieper-1, as well as a high block from the Donetsk people. Jovicevic’s team, as well as the rival, did not offer any of the other people’s possessions, but that did not prevent seeing open football from both sides. And the outcome? He was supposed to be recognized in the second half.
Shakhtar remained predictable in attack during the second half, but still posed a potential threat to goal. Dnepr-1 in some places put too much pressure on their possessions, which gave the Donetsk team a chance to score their own goal. However, the public did not expect Fernando’s performance as a forward.
The Brazilian tried unsuccessfully to play with his head several times, and there was simply no way to open up for the transfer of partners from the depths, in the conditions of three central opponents. But even when hitting chances arose, like in the 81st minute with a Matvienko pass, Fernando simply missed from a lethal position.
And yet Shakhtar managed to suffer his own success. The ball scored for Castro’s team was brought about by a failed attempt to intercept a Cipriano cross from the left wing by the experienced Kravchenko, after which Tete managed to hit the bottom corner. The game was played until the first goal was scored and the hosts had no time to save themselves.
They could secure a positive result in the episodes leading up to the miss, but Trubin’s single shots into the goal were of medium danger. The Pitmen are still in crisis, but fortunately they managed to score maximum points, forming a strong separatist couple with the Dynamo.
In the next round, Shakhtar Donetsk will play a home match against Transcarpathian Minai, and Dnipro-1 Dnieper will go to Zaporozhye for an away match against Luhansk Dawn.
